“…For the first time in 2007, Mexico included breast cancer in the Catastrophic Health Expenditures Fund, which has reduced catastrophic spending and the impoverishment of families with patients suffering from this disease 75,76 . In developing countries, resources available for healthcare are assigned to infectious disease control 2 , and molecular diagnostic tests for selection of the appropriate breast cancer treatment, for example, are often not integrated into daily practice 77 .…”

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women of reproductive age and is also the most costly according to European reports. In this context, the aim of the present review is to identify factors that make breast cancer in premenopausal women an epidemiological challenge in developing countries. Epidemiological aspects of breast cancer, including risk factors, early detection methods, and treatment, are addressed. Breast cancer in premenopausal women should be included in the political and strategic agendas in developing countries to direct the necessary resources for prevention, detection, and control.

“…Socioeconomic factors could influence women’s lifestyle [ 11 ], including dietary pattern, physical activity and reproductive behavior [ 12 ], which are known factors for breast cancer risk [ 1 , 6 , 13 , 14 ] and hospitalization [ 15 ]. In addition, recent evidence suggests that hospitalizations for breast cancer might also be influenced by travel distances [ 16 ]and social security [ 17 ]. However, no study has systemically assessed the potential role of indicators for socioeconomic development and breast cancer hospitalization.…”

Background Despite the known increasing incidence of breast cancer in China, evidence on the spatial pattern of hospitalization for breast cancer is scarce. This study aimed to describe the disparity of breast cancer hospitalization in the rural population of Southeast China and to explore the impacts of socioeconomic factors and heavy metal pollution in soil. Methods This study was conducted using the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) claims data covering 20.9 million rural residents from 73 counties in Southeast China during 2015–2016. The associations between breast cancer hospitalization and socioeconomic factors and soil heavy metal pollutants were evaluated with quasi-Poisson regression models and geographically weighted Poisson regressions (GWPR). Results The annual hospitalization rate for breast cancer was 101.40/100,000 in the studied area and the rate varied across different counties. Overall, hospitalization for breast cancer was associated with road density (β = 0.43, P = 0.02), urbanization (β = 0.02, P = 0.002) and soil cadmium (Cd) pollution (β = 0.01, P = 0.02). In the GWPR model, a stronger spatial association of Cd, road density and breast cancer hospitalization was found in the northeast regions of the study area while breast cancer hospitalization was mainly related to urbanization in the western regions. Conclusions Soil Cd pollution, road density, and urbanization were associated with breast cancer hospitalization in different regions. Findings in this study might provide valuable information for healthcare policies and intervention strategies for breast cancer.

Despite the known increasing incidence of breast cancer in China, evidence on the spatial pattern of hospitalization for breast cancer is scarce. This study aimed to describe the disparity of breast cancer hospitalization in Southeast China and to explore the impacts from socioeconomic factors and heavy metal pollution in soil. This study was conducted using the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) claims data covering 25.52 million female rural residents from 73 counties in Southeast China during 2015–2016. The associations between breast cancer hospitalization and socioeconomic factors and soil heavy metals pollutants were evaluated with quasi-Poisson regression models and geographically weighted Poisson regressions (GWPR).The annual hospitalization rate for breast cancer was 101.40/100,000 in the studied area and the rate varied across different counties. Overall, hospitalization for breast cancer was associated with road density (β = 0.43, P = 0.02), urbanization (β = 0.02, P = 0.002) and soil cadmium (Cd) pollution (β = 0.01, P = 0.02).
